Can anyone tell me how you can open a 1.21gb text file?

It’s an MySQL dump and I really need to see some elements of the content but my machine can’t cope with opening it – even with 2gb of ram…

Arghh!

Ever have one of those major realisation moments? When you realise that something about your life has evolved into something completely different, and that you’ve been so close to it (or removed from it) that you didn’t see it?

Bang. That’s happened to me over the last few days and I’m still reeling from the possible repercussions. This post can’t have any details I’m afraid – really it’s just for me to refer back to in the not-too-distant future and say, ‘yeah, that was the start – doh!’

On a separate note, my patience with and confidence in Media Temple as a hosting company has 100% dissolved. I’m moving everything over to a new set of servers here in the UK so service may be patchy over the next 10 days or so depending on how smoothly everything goes.

I’ve been thinking about getting a new bike for ages. I’ve toyed with Ducati Monsters right through to basic 125cc mopeds and I still can’t make up my mind. On a recent trip to Tokyo my good friend Dominick showed me his electric Yamaha bike:

This thing is way cool. The batteries are swappable at various outlets around Tokyo, so you can pretty much count on being able to find a place to swap your dead battery for a charged one most of the time. All very cool…

And then I saw this:

This is the ECO Yamaha, another electric bike – only this one folds itself up at the touch of a button! This has got to be getting close to the ultimate individual urban transport right? Small eco-footprint and a small physical footprint too. I wish they’d start releasing these over here in Europe though… Apparently, Yamaha is hoping to have this in production by next year.
